Jeremiah 26:21

When the king and all his bodyguards ¹  and officials heard what he was prophesying, ²  the king sought to have him executed. But Uriah found out about it and fled to Egypt out of fear. ³ 

1Ki 19:1-3; 2Ch 16:10; Ps 119:109; Pr 29:25; Jer 36:26; Mt 10:23,28,39; Mt 14:5; Mt 16:25,26; Mr 6:19

¹ tn Heb “all his mighty men/soldiers.” It is unlikely that this included all the army. It more likely was the palace guards or royal bodyguards (see 2 Sam 23 where the same word is used of David’s elite corps).

² tn Heb “his words.”

³ tn Heb “But Uriah heard and feared and fled and entered Egypt.”
